Meetup 04 - At the Edge of the World

​We’re living through a turning point — new technologies like AI are transforming not just work and creativity, but how we see ourselves and live with each other.

​Join us for the fourth meetup at the Edge of the World — a gathering for makers, activists, researchers, thinkers, builders, and curious others.

This fourth meetup will feature the following discussion:

Practical polycrisis scenarios for 2026/2027 from a climate perspective from Miriam Lyons. A worked example in modeling and scenario planning for the interlinked technological, economic and resource challenges of current global moment. Our bingo card for the next few years could have the end of air travel, famine, economic collapse, war… How do we work out what is coming and put in contingency plans?

​These meetups aim to build a community concerned and interested about the impacts and potential of emerging technologies such as AI. Between the meetups, we hope that participants will host activities, such as increasing awareness of AI, teach/share knowledge about alternatives, reimagine positive emerging tech possibilities, and plot ways to resist big tech.

At the Edge of World is not ideologically or politically aligned; we welcome people who are prepared to engage with one another with respect and curiosity.
